The film which was awarded the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award: Creative Vision, takes us through humanity’s obsession with image and how over time, this has changed human’s behaviour.

The jury said the film allowed them to realize “that the invention of image was perhaps one of the most important turning points of our recent history, reshaping radically our inner structure and sense of identity.”

“In a time where everyone is the creator of their own narrative, through image, the film forces everyone, even us filmmakers, to take a step back and reflect upon our intentions regarding the images we want to put out into the world. It is an artful, hilarious and terrifying homage to the importance of critical thinking,” they said.

The film was co-produced by SVT, Film i Väst and Denmark’s Bullitt Film with co-financing among others from ARTE G.E.I.E. Heretic handles sales.
